Review: Journey, PS3, £9.99

There are some game experiences that you will simply never forget. Journey is one of them.

It presents itself as an interactive parable.

You wake alone, surrounded by miles of burning, sprawling desert, and soon discover the looming mountaintop is your end goal.

Faced with rolling sand dunes, age-old ruins, caves and howling winds, your passage will not be an easy one.

And from that point onwards, the game leaves you to discover its wonder while gradually ascending to your final destination.

More living, breathing artwork than all-action adventure, The Journey is unlike anything you’ll have ever played before.

Lasting only a couple of hours, the second you finish, you’ll probably start playing again, yet you won’t stop thinking about the incredible presentation or the way the game speaks to you through its unparalleled atmosphere for months.
